Bungalow streets are wide with lanes behind; at apartment blocks we stop on the street since visitor stalls are small.

Ask your building manager to reserve the loading zone or elevator before moving day: Acadia's 1960s and 70s apartment blocks often have one narrow entrance and no dedicated loading bay, so timing matters more than distance.
